This is some actual retard shit. Arms is incredibly successful and it created new characters like Min Min, franchises they own 100%.
>They'd be a lot less successful without Mario
Why you think they're bringing back Donkey Kong? Nintendo is one of the only companies that actually does this right. You need new franchises, you can't just sit on your old ones. Just look at how that worked out for Sony, they kept relying on the Uncharted/TLOU formula and now they got zero exclusives, it all went to PC because they bet on only having a few franchises and huge games.
What retards accuse Nintendo of doing, "only relying on old franchises" is WHAT THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY IS DOING. Literally last week Microsoft closed down a ton of studios, Sony closed down tons of studios as well over the years just to focus on the big ones
